Chapter 40
Tessa glanced at Jacqueline, then shifted her gaze to Stephen, with a blankexpression, she asked, “Would you believe me if I said Jacqueline was lying?”
Stephen was tormentarily caught off guard by her wonds. He didn’t respond immediately.
Tessa’s lips curled into a self–mocking smile. Why had she bothered asking such a foolish question?
one side stood his sister, someone he had grown up with. On the other side was his fature wife, a woman he had close to no emotional connection with She was someone he hadn’t seen for there years.
Even stool could guess his asSWEET,
But after only a brjet hesitation, Stephen firmly replied, “1 belleve you.”
Tessa free in disbeliet.
Had she heard him correctly? Stephen actually believed her? But what about jacqueline?!
Tessa looked over at jacqueline and saw the color drain from her face.
“Stephen, she’s lying! How can you believe her over me?” Jacqueline erted out.
“That’s enough.“Stephen glanced over at Jacqueline coldly. “From the moment you met Tess, you’ve shown her nothing but hostility, just now, when you accused her of kicking the house, 1 already suspected you were lying.”
His expression hardened as he continued, “Tess isn’t that kind of person I know her well enough to trust that. And as you said yourself, she has no reason to harm You So why would she?
Tessa watched Stephen silently. Her heart was caught in a whirlwind of emotions.
She wondered why Stephen was so resolute in believing her. Why did he trust her so completely?
She had expected him to side with Jacqueline without hesitation.
Tessa’s nose tingled, and her eyes stung slightly. At that moment, she was moved beyond words.
Stephen’s pace toward Jacqueline gear as cold as ice. “Jacqueline, don’t forget that we don’t share the same last name.”
The implication was clear, Jacqueline wasn’t a three member of the Jacobson family. She shouldn’t abuse her position as their adopted daughter.
Hearing this, Jacqueline’s already pale face tumed ashen. Her lips quivered as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her lips pacted but no words came out.
“Get some rest. I’m leaving now,” Stephen said coldly. With that, he turned and walled out
Tessa stood beside the hospital bed and looked coldly at Jacqueline who was hysterical She sighed softly and asked, “What’s the point of all of this?
Soon after, Stephen and Tessa stepped into the open parking lot outside the hospital.
Stephen walled up to Tess with an apologetic expression. “Tess, I’m sorry,”

Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
